About this listen

 Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Business Contingency and Disaster Planning and related activities.Alex Fullick, MBCI, CBCP, CBRA, v3ITIL Personal Development Personal Success

    Shane Mathew:

    I coach teams charged with helping businesses to prepare to continue on in crisis or business disruption by developing a best-practices-aligned resilience program.

    In my extensive career, I've started and matured multiple programs that were able to successfully reduce the impacts of crises. My goal is to lower the cost and complexity of programs through developing a strategic plan and stakeholder engagement that ultimately supports business objectives. I'm also very media friendly, and try to find ways to weave marketing and brand value best practices into my efforts.

    Ask me how and I will be glad to help!
